Lucas said in the room as he waited for the princess to come back as he ate some of the snacks there as he waited patiently. It was only after a few minutes did the princess return to the room as she smiled at him.

"Please follow me, my father and mother wish to speak with you." Olivia said to him as he nodded and stood up.

He followed her out of the room as they went towards the throne room. As they walked Olivia was slightly slower than him as she looked at him walk as she wanted to see him more as her interest in him was already high after all that she had been able to see about him.

They soon reached the throne room as the soldiers opened the door and they entered. Lucas stood a few feet away from the king and queen who were sitting on their respective thrones. Olivia went forward and sat on her own throne as Lucas saw that only the royal guards and the court mage were present with them.

"You majesties." Lucas said respectfully as he gave them a bow.

"Raise your head Lucas. We want to discuss about the warning you just gave my daughter." Arvid said to him seriously.

"Of course, has she already told you about what I had said?" Lucas asked as he looked at them.

"Yes. You had used an artifact which warned you about the danger and you believe that it might also involve this kingdom." Arvid said to him seriously.

"Yes my king. While I do not know the exact reason or what form the danger will appear in, I believe that it might be even more dangerous than the two dragons that I had fought in the war." Lucas said to them seriously.

"Are you certain?" Arvid asked as this was a very bold proclamation.

"Of course, if possible, the court mage could take a look at the kingdom." Lucas said to them as he glanced at the old man.

"Of course, I can take a look, if your majesty wants me to." The court mage said as he looked at the ruler.

"Yes, please take a look." Arvid said as the court mage nodded at that.

He then took out a crystal ball as he used his magic to look at the kingdom of Sweden, but his eyes widened when he wasn't able to see the kingdom through his magic, as he faced the same problem as Lucas, which puzzled the man.

"I... I can't see it. I am not able to see the kingdom." The court mage said in surprise as he looked at the people in the room.

"What?" The king and queen said in unison in shock at his words.

The court mage is the strongest magic user in the kingdom and has vast knowledge of the magic arts, and is very vital for the kingdom and has also helped them in important decisions, making his position indispensable for the functionality of the kingdom as a whole.

"You can't see it?" Olivia said in shock as she never thought that it would happen.

"No. It seems that a very powerful magic user is in the kingdom." The court mage said as he frowned.

"But, why didn't they participate in the war?" Signe asked in confusion at his words.

"My queen, I believe that this is a new mage who has perhaps decided to use the aftermath of the war to his advantage." Lucas said to her respectfully.

"You might be right about that. If they had such a powerful mage with them then they would've been able to fight in the war more efficiently as they wouldn't have a reason to give up." The court mage said in a serious tone.

"That means he wishes to use the aftermath of the war to gain benefits, and if he is strong enough to actually block your vision, then they are most likely a very powerful magic user." Arvid said with a grave tone.

"How dangerous do you think it will be?" Signe asked as she was worried about what might happen.

"Considering the fact that they are powerful enough to block my vision, if he were to collude with the royal family and try to restart the war anew, then we might have to suffer heavy losses." The court mage said to them with a frown on his face.

"Great. We had just finished a war and another is likely to begin." Arvid said with a groan.

"What should we do?" Olivia asked the court mage as she felt anxious.

"For the moment, I think we should be vigilant and keep a watch on the border." The court mage said seriously.

"Is that so? Then we should immediately send word to our borders and make them more aware and cautious about the happenings at the border." Arvid said as he looked at the leader of the Royal guards.

"As you command your majesty." The leader of the royal guard said as he gave a small bow and gave the order to his subordinate who went to carry it out.

Lucas watched the process as he felt some gratitude in his heart at the fact that the king and the rest are taking his words seriously, which means that the kingdom will also be ready to mobilize at the face of danger.

'I just hope that this is enough.' Lucas thought to himself as he looked at the royal family.

    Lucas didn't give the soldiers a chance to attack as he immediately lunged forward with his sword ready, the runes taking effect as he swung and decapitated three soldiers as his sword sang as it cut through the necks of the soldiers with ease as its wielder spun around as he shot out flames which burned the soldiers as they cried out in pain. He looked at Kriemhild as she also attacked the soldiers as her sword was also able to cut through their armor and their bodies as the sword was working as he had intended as he smiled to himself as he focused back on the enemies. The mages were busy putting up shields to deflect the flames from Falkor which only annoyed the wyvern as it roared and increased the speed as it flew through the air and attacked the other soldiers as the mages kept on using shields as they knew that they couldn't lose them. The archers also attacked the wyvern but it was proving to be ineffective as the wyvern was able to dodge the arrows as they were getting angr

    Lucas quickly put on his armor and grabbed his sword as he dashed out of his room, startling the servants near his room as they looked at him in shock as he quickly went down the stairs, his armor making noise which caught the attention of his parents as they came out of a room to find him in armor. "Son?" Leif called out in confusion alongside his wife. "The enemy soldiers are attacking!" Lucas shouted as he dashed without stopping as his words caused the eyes of his parents to widen alongside the servants. "What!?" All of them shouted in shock at his sudden declaration. But Lucas didn't wait for a response as he threw open the doors of the entrance as be spotted Falkor who was currently chilling on the ground, though he did sense his Master and looked at him. "Get ready to fly!" Lucas shouted as the Wyvern's eyes narrowed in response as it let out a light roar. Falkor raised his wings as he raised his body up using his legs as Lucas jumped onto his back as he steadied him

    Alpha and his comrades were keeping watch at the border as they had been ordered by Lucas and they hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary in there, just the usual forest and the animals that live, there weren't any disturbances nor any soldiers, though he did feel concerned that they would attack at once, but they would be able to see him, after all they had been trained for reconnaissance and while they aren't as good as their master, they could at least move away before the attack and warm Lucas during the time of attack. They were scattered around the border, with weapons at the ready in case of an ambush and were a good distance away from the border and hidden so that they will be able to safely kill any small group of soldiers that came out of the kingdom and intruded into their own. While it was a bit boring, it was safe and it wasn't like there was any danger now so he is quite content with doing this, it also allowed him to enjoy the wildlife as well. It was tranquil and e

    The new day started as Lucas woke up and started to train in his magic as he stayed in his room and kept a watch on the borders of the kingdom to make sure that his subordinates are fine and was glad to see that they were keeping watch over the border. Though he is dissatisfied about the fact that he wasn't able to look at the enemy kingdom and understand what was happening. Falkor is also in the garden and is working as a guard to ensure that they are safe. Since he has very sharp senses, he would be able to know when danger is afoot, which will allow him and his family to be ready. He doesn't know who has shot that attack but he knows that they are strong for being able to do that. But he also didn't know if that was the best they could do or if they have more tricks up their sleeve. There were more questions than answers, which frustrated him as he didn't know what to do in such a situation, other than creating plans based on what he knows and can hypothesize as he just wante

    The moment Lucas returned to his home he told his parents about the danger and asked them to be prepared just in case and to not tell about it to anyone until something happened. They were confused at the sudden words of their son but they trusted him as he went to his room and to the secret room where he started to go through the grimoires he has as he looked at the spells in the book as he narrowed his eyes. 'That attack would've finished me if it had hit and the more problematic thing is that I don't even know if that mage is able to do more or not. What if he was only testing me? I don't have any information to draw any conclusions on this.' Lucas thought to himself as he frowned at the lack of information. He hoped that his boys were cautious, though he had given them training and taught them to be always cautious, they were still only human and they might relax while out on the patrol. 'It would be ideal to have Aslaug with me as she would be able to warn me about it and

    Lucas has wanted to return to his own territory after telling the royals about the warning, but Olivia wanted to talk with him after that so he decided to forego that plan for the moment as he has to follow the wishes of the princess above all as a member of the nobility after all. "Why did you wish to talk with me princess?" Lucas asked her respectfully. "I was curious about your plan to combat this new threat. I'm sure that you would've already come up with a plan of action after learning about the danger." Olivia said as she looked at him. "Yes, I suppose you are right. Though it isn't a real plan as much as it is just something that I came up with on the spot." Lucas said as he shook his head from side to side. "I see. I guess you want to go back and get your territory ready?" Olivia said as she smiled at him. "Yes, I still haven't told my parents about it yet since I wanted to inform you immediately." Lucas said to her seriously. "Then I shall not delay you any further, as
